Willing to Make a Bargain

1910

The naturally religious child, and most children are naturally religious, flees to the heavenly father in and under all trying circumstances. Kathleen, for instance, had lost her dog and was heart-broken. Earnest prayer failed to restore the missing Fido, and the second evening the troubled maiden promised, tearfully: "I'm afraid, dear God, that you're vexed with me over something, 'cause you haven't brought my doggie back; but if you'll only send him back to me this evening I'll be such a good little girl tomorrow and all next day!"


The Supreme Message

Christ shall be first or not at all. In the lives of men let us live nobler, try to be better and truer to ourselves and give our testimony whenever the opportune time comes. — Rev. C. K. Carpenter, Methodist Episcopal, Galesburg, Illinois.
